Charfield Road, Kingswood, Wotton-under-Edge, GL12 8SL

This home is not the same as it was when you laid eyes on it in 1851. Formerly, it was divided into two weavers’ cottages, which were converted into a single residence in the 1960s. Welcoming you into the home is a charming, yet practical, courtyard garden. White tiles and a carefully selected shaker-style kitchen offer a great space to cook, complete with an integrated washing machine, dishwasher, fridge and freezer. Feel the warmth of the open fireplace as you unwind in the cosy lounge on a winter’s evening. Light from the rear aspect floods the space through a generous sash window. The room is complete with handy understairs storage and convenient access to the rear. The first floor contains two double bedrooms, with the larger of the two boasting floor-to-ceiling built-in wardrobes – keeping the clothes neatly hidden without taking away from the floorspace. The cast iron bath allows for a relaxing soak, with a pleasant view towards the rear garden. Historically, the second winding staircase would lead you to a hard day’s work weaving; now, it opens onto a further two double bedrooms, with the principal benefitting from en-suite shower facilities. Expansive, mature cottage gardens unfold to the rear, creating a tapestry of flowers, while the patio allows for a great space to entertain or take in the sun in the warmer months. For the green-thumbed amongst us, the very rear is perfect for growing vegetables, having been allotments some time ago. The home is a brisk walk to the Katharine Lady Berkeley’s Secondary School, and many of the amenities this beautiful Cotswold village offers.
